Hi Charlie... Sounds like your friend's computer is using Win98se's ICS to share internet connection. That's why that particular machine shows both internal and external address. What is strange, though, is that it doesn't show 192.168.0.1, instead of .5. That point aside, to make this work he will need to do some port forwarding in ICS to allow VNC port 5900 to map to an internal address. By default, ICS closes that port and rejects traffic through it, even to the machine running ICS. Hopefully, your friend will know how to forward ports in ICS. If not, let me know and I can send more information to you directly.

In terms of the connection.... I am trying to connect through the Internet to my friends PC. His PC is setup to share internet. He accesses the Internet through a modem (which I could imagine is very slow to share) and the remaining computers (5 computers) in the building use an Ethernet setup to access the internet. This setup also allows them to share files and printers. All the computers are using Windows 98 or Windows 98SE. I hope that is enough information. When I try get him to give me the IP address.... He says that the VNC icon in the system tray shows 2 ip addresses. One is an External address (e.g. 24.64.223.192) and one is an Internal address (e.g. 192.168.0.5). When displayed with VNC the numbers show as: 24.64.223.192,192.168.0.5 Now, I've tried to connect to the computer through his modem using the external address but it does not make a connection. When I try accessing his computer with the external & internal address... VNC asks me if I typed the info in correctly... any ideas...
